TestStand is a test executive software that accelerates system development and deployment for engineers in validation and production. A development license is required to build test sequences, and a deployment license is required for each system a test sequence is deployed to.
TestStand Development System is available for purchase as a single subscription or as part of the NI LabVIEW+ Suite. For scaling and deploying test sequences to multiple test systems, NI offers perpetual licenses for the Base Deployment Engine and Debug Deployment Environment.
